The Little Blue House takes it to the TEST!

Check out the Sand Gold on the corrugated flowers on the "To the Beach" Layout designed by Tracy Pounds (Miss Tracy ).

-I enjoyed using Stone Art on my Layout! It went on very easily...I just spread it with a plastic knife and it didn't flake off once it was dry :) like some other products I've used in the past. I was also able to use my heat gun on it to speed up the drying...love it! Really looks authentic... I look forward to crafting with it more! It will be great to use with my Stencils!

-Miss Tracy

Shadow Boxes, Printers Trays, Canvases, Cigar Boxes and More!We love to find interesting surfaces to use for our projects at The Little Blue House!Jenni Bowlin, 7 Gypsies, and Adornit have some great surfaces out right now.

Lets start with Jenni Bowlin. We love Jenni's vintage chic style! Her unique surfaces have so much character and really celebrate reuniting the past with the present!

One of our fav's is her Divided Cigar Box...This box has fun built in dividers...a perfect shadowbox in the making! She also has a smaller cigar box ...could be perfect hide away for a minibook or use it functionally for storage of your favorite trinkets and treasures!

She has also introducing a darling Chalkboard with Easel! These boards could be a great creative surface or keep as a functional chalk board. Now for another favorite, the Hotel Key Holder! We can't wait to play with one of these...You can use it for jewlery, keys, or a fun decor piece....

7 Gypsies also offers great Surfaces...

The Printers Tray Shadowbox above is such a fabulous surface! Use photos, momentos, fun odds and ends, some paper and embellishments...and quickly and easily... YoU have a beautiful keepsake to treasure!

So many people see these 7 Gypsies Ticket Holders and love them but dont know what to do with them. We saw so many cool samples at the Winter CHA Show using these! We fell in love with it!! It's just a fun, quirky piece that you can snap photos, ticket stubs, journaling cards, or whatever you want and create a unique, one-of-a-kind display!

This surface project is a NEW Class at the LBH designed by Susan Tidwell.She used the Wood Letter Tray shadowbox from Adornit

featuring pictures of her daughter, son in law and her new grandbaby, Carl William and some fun embellishments.

A Family Shadowbox is a great way to

preserve your precious memories and would make a lovely gift! I love the detail and decorative edges on this Surface!

"I enjoyed working on the shadowbox because it was so easy to assemble. Loved being able to create different mini layouts but all within one finished project." - Susan Tidwell

You can find all these surfaces at The Little Blue House. Stop by to see them in person...We will be happy to show them to you!
